Goals and Objectives of NPOCE The GOAL of NPOCE is to improve the understanding of the

NWP ocean circulation dynamics and its role in warm pool maintenance and low-frequency variability, modulation of ENSO cycle, the EAM variability, and tropical cyclones.

Theme1: Western Boundary Currents Theme2: Interaction with Ambient Circulation Systems Theme3: Roles in Warm Pool Maintenance and Variability Theme4: Regional Air-Sea Interaction and Climatic Impacts

(From NPOCE Science/Implementation Plan, 2010)

SPICE (Southwest Pacific International Circulation and Climate Experiment): 2008-2012, France, Australia, US

NPOCE (Northwestern Pacific Ocean Circulation Experiment): 2008- China, US, Australia, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Germany
